FAQ

How to bond a window into a boat?

If you plan to bond a window, identify the material of the window you want to install first. Common window materials are organic glass (PMMA, PC etc.) or mineral glass. A specific adhesive must be selected according to the window material.

Use Sikaflex®-295 UV for bonding organic glass into your boat and Sikaflex®-296 as a direct glazing adhesive to bond mineral glass.  In order to obtain satisfactory results, consult the pre-treatment chart and prepare the surface accordingly before bonding the window.

For further details read our application guidelines and our pre-treatment chart.
